By Love

Isabella Ten years is a long time to wonder what really happened the night my parents died. Too long. I need to know why they died, why I lived, and who the woman at the top of the cliff was. The truth is trapped inside my broken brain, but whenever I reach for it, something pulls me out. Something or someone. And that someone might be the one who took my brother. I need his best friend's help to unlock my memories and find my brother. Dean's the best PI around, but he's also the guy I've secretly loved forever. Dean As a private investigator, I've brought down the lowlifes of humanity – cheats, thieves, liars. It was never personal for me. Not until someone kidnapped my best friend. When his sister asks for my help? No is not an answer. I'd lay down my life for Bella. Not that she knows. No one does. She's been off-limits ever since the accident that claimed their parents' lives, turning my best friend into her guardian and breaking something inside her. I vow not to mix professional and personal but finding her brother means keeping her close. In my truck. In my house. In my bed. For the sake of both our lives.

Someone wants me dead.I wish I could say I'm exaggerating, but the threats are getting more creative and a lot more terrifying.

Six feet of gorgeous landscaper who's been making my heart race for months is now determined to keep me safe whether I like it or not. Being stuck together while dodging death threats is testing every bit of my self-control, and honestly? When someone's trying to kill you, playing it safe with your heart seems pretty stupid.Time's running out.With nowhere to run and a target on my back, I have to trust the man who makes me weak in the knees.
